Within the palace, there were naturally people from the Jiang clan.
The President was the Fourth Prince's trusted aide, and his status was quite high. Everyone greeted the President and said, "Brother Aowu."
Indeed, the President's name was Jiang Aowu.
Jiang Aowu smiled and greeted everyone before saying, "Let me introduce everyone. This brother is called Chu Xing, and he has just joined our Jiang clan."
Hearing this, everyone once again looked at Lu An and sized him up from head to toe. Chu Xing did not hide his gaze at all and looked at everyone. Everyone was sizing him up, and he was sizing them up as well.
Even though Chu Xing's strength was quite low, since he could come here, he was one of them. No one would give Lu An a show of strength, and they all cupped their hands in greeting.
Following this, Jiang Aowu turned to look at someone and said, "Send Brother Chu over."
"Alright," that person evidently knew what the President was talking about and said to Chu Xing, "Come with me."
Chu Xing nodded and did not say anything as he followed that person to another palace.
After Chu Xing left, the people in the palace once again spoke, and one of them asked Jiang Aowu, "Is he the person the Fourth Prince likes?"
Jiang Aowu nodded, and the others frowned and said, "He doesn't look like much."
"It doesn't matter how strong he is, as long as he's at the Heaven Realm," Jiang Aowu said. "I feel that this person has some tricks up his sleeve, and he does missions very quickly. As long as he's trustworthy, he'll be of great help to us."
Since even Jiang Aowu said this, no one doubted him anymore. After all, this person was not brought in by them, so there was no need to worry too much about him.
Elsewhere, Chu Xing and another person soon arrived at a palace. This palace was also used for setting up teleportation formations. The reason why there were so many palaces was because teleportation formations had different uses, and they had to be strictly separated.
After opening up a teleportation formation, he turned to look at Chu Xing and took out a medallion as he said, "This is the Jiang clan's medallion, and it proves that you're one of us. The teleportation formation is a hidden location; they already know that you'll be there today. "
Chu Xing took the token and examined it in his hand. Then, without hesitation, he entered the Transportation Formation.
… …
… … …
At the periphery of the Spirit Galaxy, in the boundless dark universe.
Countless stars in the darkness were as still as death, without any signs of life. In the boundless universe, the incomparably huge stars were like specks of dust, as if they were not worth mentioning.
On a star in the darkness, this star looked very complete, but even if it was complete, there would still be cracks on it. At this moment, in a crack deep in the earth's surface, there was a small space. In this space, there were three people sitting on the ground.
These three people were naturally from the Jiang Clan.
Although they were on a mission, the three of them were bored to death as they sat on the ground, chatting with each other to ease the boredom. Guarding the checkpoint was a very boring task. Although there was no danger, the time was really hard to pass. When the target appeared, its aura would appear and travel underground through the cracks. Therefore, the three of them did not need to go to the surface. Not only that, but unless one deliberately released their perception to search for the three of them, it would be very difficult for Heaven Tier cultivators to use their perception to locate them. However, the three of them could easily confirm each other's auras.
"I wonder when that Chu Xing will come." One of them yawned and said, "The higher-ups told us to observe this person properly. Since we're just staying here, it's easier to kill some time doing something."
The other two also nodded in agreement. Staying here like this was indeed too boring. The higher-ups said that he would come in these two days, but it had already been one and a half days, and he still had not appeared. They did not know if he could come or not.
Just as the other person wanted to say something, suddenly, there was a ripple in the space. A teleportation array immediately lit up, causing the three of them to be shocked!
He's here!
The three of them immediately turned to look. Indeed, a figure walked out from their line of sight.
The three of them looked at the figure that appeared. Looking at this person's appearance and characteristics, it was exactly the same as the information given by the higher-ups.
That's right, it was Chu Xing.
The teleportation array behind him closed, and the entire narrow crack instantly became very quiet.
Both sides looked at each other, and surprisingly, Chu Xing was the first to speak, asking the three of them, "The three of you are from the Jiang Clan?"
"That's right." One of them opened his mouth and said, "You're Chu Xing?"
"Yes." Chu Xing's voice was clearly cold as he said, "I've accepted the mission to guard the point with the three of you. Please advise me."
Although Chu Xing's attitude and voice were somewhat cold, at least his words were more polite. The three of them naturally would not deliberately make things difficult for him, indicating for Lu An to sit anywhere.
There were some rocks in the crack that one could sit on. In the process of guarding the point, one was not allowed to release power. This was common sense, so one could only sit on the rocks or on the ground. Chu Xing did not sit on the rocks, but walked to the ground in a corner and sat cross-legged. After a simple conversation with the three of them, he closed his eyes, as if meditating or cultivating.
Seeing this, the three of them were stunned. Although they had heard that Chu Xing was a bit of a loner with a cold personality, they did not expect it to be to this extent. For a moment, the three of them did not know what to say. They looked at each other, but could only shrug.
If they did not speak, how could they judge this person's character? Was there a problem?
In reality, Lu An was not cultivating.
The three of them were two men and one woman, and what Lu An really cared about was that these three were actually from the Jiang Clan.
This meant that this mission was very likely a mission that could be completed by the Jiang Clan's own people, and there was no need for outsiders to participate. His participation also meant that the Jiang Clan had deliberately arranged for him to be observed.
However, this was also a good thing for Lu An. He was confident that he could pass this test, and as long as he passed this test, the Jiang Clan would trust him more and more, and he would be closer to the secret of ninety thousand years of history.
Even if he could not release his perception outwards, Lu An could clearly know the movements of the three people in the narrow space. Because he knew that the other party wanted to observe him, Lu An could not keep silent. Otherwise, this observation would fail, and the Jiang Clan's trust in him would not increase. So, after a while, Lu An opened his eyes. However, he still did not speak, but looked pensive.
It was not good to disturb him when his eyes were closed, but he could talk when his eyes were open. The two men looked at each other, hinting at each other. One of them looked at Lu An and spoke first. "Brother Chu, don't you feel bored? Why don't we all have a chat? "
"Yes." The other person also spoke up. "We've been here for many days, and we've talked about everything. We're just staring at each other here, not knowing what to say."
The two of them spoke one after another, and Chu Xing finally looked up at them. Chu Xing frowned slightly, obviously against this kind of thing. However, the two of them had spoken, and their tone was very polite, so Chu Xing hesitated and said, "What do you want to talk about?"
Seeing Chu Xing speak, the three of them were immediately shocked. As long as they could take the first step, it would be fine. However, since they suddenly wanted to talk, the three of them did not know what to ask. They could not be too deliberate, so after hesitating, one of them asked, "I heard that Brother Chu only joined the Jiang Clan recently, and you used to be a solo merchant. Is this very tiring?"
"It's alright," Chu Xing said concisely, "If you don't ask for too much, you won't be tired. If you want everything, you'll be very tired."
This was true. Whether it was the Deep Sea Heavenly Master on the Immortal Planet or the solo merchants in the Spirit Galaxy, they were all like this. If they wanted too much, they would have to carry out missions continuously. If they did not want anything, they could be idle every day.
"…"
The three of them were stunned. They did not expect Chu Xing's answer to be so special, killing the conversation in an instant.
The three of them looked at each other, and at this moment, the other man asked, "Most people have joined the army. Why didn't Brother Chu join the army?"
"Because I don't like to be controlled by others," Chu Xing said. "In the war, we have the advantage. It doesn't matter if I have one more, it doesn't matter. If we become disadvantaged, I will consider joining the army."
"…"
Hearing this, the three of them nodded. Actually, they were very disgusted by the words' one more, one less'. However, since Lu An said that he was willing to join the army, at least they felt that Lu An had a bottom line, and was not a useless person.
